Acceptance Day Question

I am sorry that we aren't all as informed as you.
Don't feel bad....many are more informed and some less. Are you now saying that you didn't realize that your mother could watch from the stands until I told you? No need to be embarrassed....a simple thanks would have sufficed.
 
With the change in hours for the North gate that went into affect on July1, does anyone know what time the gate will open for A-Day?
 
To clarify the issue regarding contacting your cadet, they will have their laptops as of early August and those are not taken away from them (considering that they use them for school), so e-mail and OovoO are easy to use. Phones are a hit or miss. I had mine last A-Day, but there's no guarantee that the freshmen will this year.

USAFA altitude is over 6500 feet above sea level!

Keep in mind the altitude at USAFA can be hard on visitors coming from lower altitudes. I always had a hard time adjusting so stay hydrated. You may want to research how this may affect your mom.

I appreciate the information. She does have a heart condition and I did ask her to talk to the doctor about making the trip to the higher altitude. I know that the two times I was there I had headaches for a short time.
 
There is a parking lot just behind the stands and I believe they use this for drop offs of disabled. You should be able to drive her up there. Getting to the dorms would be much more difficult but you could have your picnic by the car and still enjoy your time.

It is amusing that the new cadets are lost at first. Remember, they can go nowhere without escort prior to A day and some of them do get turned around when they have to find places themselves. They learn quickly, though, of course

Since my daughter uses the North Gate every day, I had her ask about the hours for Acceptance Day. The North Gate will be open to civilian traffic at 0600 on Acceptance Day according to the personnel working this morning.
